   Mattie's Bottom 30 Anime

   We're going to the other side of anime consumption this week with Mattie's bottom 30 anime of all time!

Again, this list is all in good fun so if your favorite show is on this list then it's not an attack on you. Probably. Let us know your least favorite anime of all time in the comments below or join our Discord and talk with us! We'd love to hear from you.

   Horror Movie Hangout: Skinamarink (feat. Earthworm)

   Skinamarink! It's more than just a magic spell to carve off the skin of your enemies! It's also an experimental 2022 horror film written and directed by Kyle Edward Ball which Audrey and our featured guest Earthworm review and discuss this week! While Mattie soaks up the sun, the gang here bask in the fun of childhood horror and, quite unfortunately, knives. It's not anime but these things are known to happen from time to time.
